Greetings all,

Just trying to confirm thisg with others: Install glite-APEL (v3.2.2-0) couple of days ago, without having any errors. As far as I understand, MON is not needed anymore for this release, so it's just the  glite-APEL needs to be installed on that box.

/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s site-info.def  -n glite-APEL

Another question: Is there any way to test the new node without putting in the GOCDB or production? Or, even better, is it possible to put the new glite-APEL node in the GOCDB along with the still-running old SL3 MON-box, for testing?

Cheers,
Santanu

Hi Alessandra,

We've got four sites beta testing the new transport mechanism right now and all have been successful. Two of these sites have been moved to the beta after problems sending records via R-GMA. 

As noted in the other messages we've also recently certified the latest version of the publisher that uses the new transport mechanism.

Kindest Regards

Hi Steve,

We have high hopes for the change in transport layer that is being

coded  to make this  go away.

is there any time scale for this? It has been known for a while now that 

RGMA was going to be phased out.

cheers

Hi

we've had problems getting all our accounting records in for two months now.  the solution is to republish frequently and often, I am not sure whether RGMA is dropping the records, or is it somehow not making it from RGMA into the DB.

perhaps we could save lots of effort and just email the account records once per week or so? kind of silly to keep sacrificing a machine just to support the deprecated transport mechanism, which often just doesn't work.

This has been my recent proposal for CERN as well. Even sending our

back logs took long enough to process that we built up a

back log again big enough that it could not be sent. => doomed.

Is MON still needed for APEL?

Yes, at the moment. This is the patch for the R-GMA-free APEL, if you

want to watch the progress.

Thanks Stephen,

It seems this patch got stalled for almost a month now, so I wonder

what's blocking this from getting into production.

@Will: what do you think about this patch?

Thanks,

Cristi
